If any of these sound familiar then we offer training opportunities for you. This is professional screenprinting training aimed at teaching the same sound fundamentals and advanced techniques used by successful screenprinting businesses around the world. The training consists of a combination of classroom lecture and hands-on workshop to achieve the best possible learning experience. You will learn more in two days than others learn in years of "on-the-job" training. Thousands of graduates have started up a screenprinting business immediately after training.

We recognize that screenprinting covers a wide and diverse product lineup from T-shirts to Fine Art Serigraphs and everything in between. The instructors have printed a wide variety of items; baseball bats, T-shirts, cowboy boots, mousetraps and mousepads, electroluminescent dial faces, slot machine glass, nameplates, solar panel discs, signs, billboards, bumper stickers, decals, transfers, and well just about anything you can name. You will learn how to print a wide variety of items using the principles we teach you. You will learn more in two days of training than in years of "going it alone". Graduates of this course will be able to immediately set-up and run a screenprinting business. This training is not just for novices, as we have trained individuals who have been printing for years. At the end of training they almost state that they were amazed at how much they didn't know.

We also teach classes at the client's shop. Contact us for more information on having the class held at your location, on your equipment, where all your employees can benefit without having to leave home.

STEP ONE - WORKSHOP SELECTION
The first step is to decide what level of expertise you have currently and where you want to be. We offer two levels - Basic or Advanced. You have the option of attending one or both levels at the same time. You will have the knowledge after the first day to attend the second level if you so inclined. There is no pressure. We are here to help you gain the knowledge that you want and need. Go to the Workshops link in the upper right corner of this page and select your Workshop.

STEP TWO - SELECT A DATE
Once you have decided on the level of knowledge you want and need, you can visit our Calendar link in the upper right corner of the page and select a date that fits in your schedule.

STEP THREE - REGISTRATION
The next step in the process is to register at the Register Link at the upper right of this page. Appointments are taken on a first come, first served basis. Do not pay or make any travel arrangements until availability has been verified.

STEP FOUR - PAYMENT
Training payments are due one full month prior to the class start date. We cannot guarantee that your payment or your registration will be processed if made after this date. You must make your payment in full in order to guarantee your appointment. We reserve the right to cancel, without notice, any registration that is not paid in full in order. We accept PayPal as our preferred method of payment. You can also use Bank Wire, but you are responsible for all fees on both ends of the wire transfer. We also accept personal and company checks, but they must clear the bank at least two weeks prior to the training date. Purchase orders are only considered from major corporations, institutions, government agencies, and insurance companies or rehabilitation centers.

STEP FIVE - CONFIRMATION
Two weeks prior to the training start date, we will confirm all pre-registrations by email. We will outline details about the training at that time. At this time you will be able to book your travel plans and lodging. We can make recommendations, but we do not make any money from the hotels or airlines.

CANCELLATIONS AND REFUNDS
As the training we offer is on an individual basis we do not offer refunds. If you wish you may reschedule training at a later date at any time up until two weeks prior to the training. We do not offer refunds if a client cancels the class after arrangements have been made, as there are limited seats available.

TAX DEDUCTION
According to Treasury Regulation 1.162-5, registration fees, travel, meals, lodging, etc., may be tax deductible as educational expenses if the class is necessary to maintain or improve the skills for your employment or is required by an employer or by law.

CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION
Every student receives a Certificate of Completion at the end of each class.

EDUCATION VERSUS SALES
The School of Screenprinting is proud to be the only educational facility to offer classes that truly educational in nature. We do not attempt to sell or offer any equipment, supplies, videos, books, software or other items to our students before, during or after classes. We do not have salespeople on staff to push you into buying anything. We do not allow industry sales representatives to make sales pitches to you. We do not accept commissions or revenue to mention or push any product.

Regardless of what others will tell you, they DO represent the interests of other and accept revenue or products in order to promote them in their classes. They will use wording that suggests one thing while practicing another. Do not be fooled by others!
